Nature Lab Virtual Fieldtrip Take a virtual journey to Utah's Great Salt Lake–which is saltier than the ocean–to find out how this extreme habitat supports an incredible diversity of life, and how we can protect it for the future.

Our Conservation Priorities Across the West

Discover how we're collaborating with our TNC colleagues and partners across the western U.S. and Canada to advance conservation on a transformative scale.

Sagebrush Sea

The Nature Conservancy is working across Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon to protect this iconic western landscape, one of the largest natural systems in North America.

Colorado River Basin

The Nature Conservancy is working to protect the Colorado River Basin, which provides water, food, recreation and energy for more than 40 million people.

Western Dry Forests and Fire Program

The Nature Conservancy is working across the western U.S. to catalyze forest restoration on a transformative scale.

Climate and Renewable Energy

To accelerate a conservation-minded transition away from fossil fuels, TNC envisions the development of a more flexible and responsive western energy grid based on renewable energy sources shared across state boundaries and deployed to avoid impacts to biodiversity-rich landscapes.

Will We Save the Great Salt Lake?

Our work on the lake is crucial to Utah’s air quality, our mountain snowpack, the economy and millions of migratory birds.
